Elementary Schools in South Kingstown

The South Kingstown school district in Rhode Island is home to three high-performing elementary schools: Peace Dale School, West Kingston School, and Matunuck School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state.

Matunuck School and West Kingston School stand out as particularly high-performing institutions. Matunuck School is ranked 37th out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in 5th grade RICAS/Mathematics and NGSA/Science assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the South Kingstown district and the state average. West Kingston School, ranked 41st in the state, also performs well on RICAS/Mathematics assessments, often exceeding the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade.

All three elementary schools in South Kingstown demonstrate consistently strong academic performance, with students scoring above the district and state averages on RICAS/English Language Arts and RICAS/Mathematics assessments. The schools' low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest they serve relatively more affluent student populations, which may contribute to their high achievement. Additionally, Matunuck School's small student-teacher ratio of 10.2 indicates a more personalized learning environment, which could be a factor in the school's exceptional performance.
